Because of the fate of that person who showed up earlier, all the members of the tenth-level powerhouse alliance hidden within the advanced alliance dare not show up like that person. As a result, the advanced alliance, which was already very weak in front of this ninth-level army, became even weaker.

Of these three thousand people, it's unknown how many came from the Tenth-Level Strongest Alliance.

Chen Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems there was a reason why Zeng Yushu took so long to prepare before entering the ninth level. The reason why this advancement alliance was so eager to enter the ninth level was that many of the three thousand people were not trusted confidants, but were even recruited directly from the tenth-level powerhouse alliance to make up the numbers.

Even if such an advanced alliance reaches the ninth level, how much development can it achieve? Chen Zhou wondered.

Chen Zhou realized he had been too hasty. He had assumed the ninth level was similar to the tenth, and that their supposed unity was likely only among a portion of the forces. He hadn't expected the entire ninth level to be united. This truly surprised Chen Zhou.

But thinking about these things now is useless. Chen Zhou has to think of a new way. In the current situation, the number of people in his alliance is constantly decreasing, and although the people in the ninth-level army are also losing, most of the losses are in the flanks. These flank troops are obviously just fillers and are not as strong as the regular troops. So what if they lose people? It has no impact on the core of the real ninth-level army.

Chen Zhou then quietly disappeared from beside the middle-aged merchant and reappeared beside the railway. The railway was now surrounded by three or five people. The person named Zhuo Miaoyan had already separated from the railway. There were too many people here, so it was not suitable to fight alone.

Just then, Chen Zhou encountered Zhuo Miaoyan's enormous axe, and Chen Zhou's black sword collided with the giant axe.

"Bang!"

"What kind of technique is this? It seems to be quite different from the techniques in Shanghai..." Zhuo Miaoyan murmured, looking at Chen Zhou, who was covered in crimson gold.

Chen Zhou smiled slightly, mimicking Zhuo Miaoyan, and said, "I won't be too resistant; on the contrary, it suits me quite well!"

"Then I'd like to see what kind of method is suitable? Are all the people who entered the ninth level today just glib talkers?" Zhuo Miaoyan mocked mercilessly.

Chen Zhou was unmoved by these taunts and immediately increased the force with which he gripped the black sword.

"Bang bang bang..."

After several heavy blows, Chen Zhou was surprised to find that Zhuo Miaoyan's strength far exceeded his expectations! If Chen Zhou wanted to fight against Zhuo Miaoyan with his current strength, he would have to abandon his cold weapon skills and use the Fire Transformation Technique instead!

Chen Zhou vaguely sensed that Zhuo Miaoyan's true realm had surpassed that of a second-level demon warrior. Several times, Chen Zhou's black sword had already struck Zhuo Miaoyan's body, but he just couldn't harm her.

This was clearly a difference in physical strength. Zhuo Miaoyan's physical strength far exceeded Chen Zhou's. Several times, Zhuo Miaoyan's giant axe struck Chen Zhou, causing his internal organs to tremble with each blow. Fortunately, Chen Zhou managed to shift his body slightly backward when the axe struck him; otherwise, the axe would have already cleaved him in two.

Chen Zhou is currently relying entirely on the rapid movement of his Xingyi Cloud Sword to prevent the giant axe from succeeding. Chen Zhou has now discovered that Zhuo Miaoyan's only weakness is that her weapon is too cumbersome, which makes her slower than Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou's Xingyi Cloud Sword technique is incredibly fast. If Zeng Yushu hadn't had those shoes, his speed would obviously not have been as fast as Chen Zhou's.

"Hmph! If you have the guts, don't run away!" Zhuo Miaoyan was clearly enraged by Chen Zhou's fighting style of running around everywhere. Chen Zhou relied on his speed to be faster than hers and never fought her head-on. He not only relied on the movement of Xingyi Cloud Sword to dodge her giant axe attacks, but also occasionally used his speed to create a contrast and attack her with the black sword.

Fortunately, her physical level was not on the same level as Chen Zhou's. Zhuo Miaoyan estimated that Chen Zhou was only a level two magician, while she was already a level four magician. People who have just entered this Burning Field tend to underestimate the levels here, but in fact, level plays a significant role in the Demon Capital.

As long as the level is high, the physical fitness will become stronger and stronger.

Many people overlook this point, unaware that everyone loses their cultivation in the Burning Field, and physical strength is the only measure of power here.

"Why should I fight you head-on?" Chen Zhou said slowly. A bold idea suddenly popped into Chen Zhou's mind: with his speed and movement technique, combined with his Fire Transformation Technique, he could turn this place into a sea of ​​fire!

It's still uncertain who will win or lose at that point.

Upon realizing this, Chen Zhou immediately prepared to take action.

Since this nine-layered army intends to kill them, Chen Zhou naturally won't let them go. The main reason is that Chen Zhou hasn't found Wo Wan's whereabouts yet. To find Wo Wan, he might try asking the leader of the army he's currently fighting, Zhuo Miaoyan.

Zhuo Miaoyan was currently in a state of extreme anger, surrounded by black energy. Chen Zhou immediately guessed that Zhuo Miaoyan was clearly using a kind of magic technique from the Demon City! Chen Zhou could conclude that the magic techniques in the shops on the ninth floor were obviously not as plentiful as those on the tenth floor, because there was an oddball on the tenth floor, namely the middle-aged merchant.
